Essay Instructions: Snack food makers have drawn much press for efforts to lower the fat content in mainstream products. Trans fat content ("bad" fats) is now listed on packages, which was never required in the past. As a result, many products have been reformulated to remove this hidden fat.

A new (hypothetical) health bar, Flavorful Health, has 100% RDA of vitamins and 90% of the daily allowance of saturated fat. The bar features "100% Vitamin RDA" on the front of the package and notes fat content on the back of the pack. The fat content was considered acceptable to meet the manufacturer’s goal of providing superior flavor with a health benefit.

Please at least one of the following questions:

* Some argue that snack/fast food providers have an obligation to offer foods that meet certain health requirements. Do you agree? If so, what would these health requirements be? (Consider the ethical theory/theories that you think are most applicable to this case.)

* Apply an ethical principle to the issue of whether Flavorful Health should be allowed to have a "100% Vitamin RDA" package icon despite the fat content, which is listed on the back.

*Do people have a right to choose good-tasting foods even if they are unhealthy?

*Should foods that are targeted to children be regulated differently from those that are targeted to adults?

* Should advertising to children for foods that have a high fat content be limited in some way?

CASE STUDY

HISTORY PROFESSOR WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

Mr. Joblonski, a 48-year-old history professor, has a blood lipid profile that includes elevated LDL cholesterol. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 200 ponds. Mr. Joblonski has a family history of CHD (coronary heat disease). His diet history shows excessive intakes of food energy, cholesterol, total fat, saturated fat, and salt. He smokes a pack of cigarettes day, and his lifestyle leaves him little time for physical activity. Mr. Jablonski also has hypertension, for which diuretics have been prescribed. He frequently forgets to take his pills, though, and his blood pressure is often quite high.

Name the risk factors for CHD and hypertension in Mr. Jablonski?s history. Which of them can he control? Which can be helped by diet? What complications might you expect if his condition goes untreated?

What type of diet, if any, would you recommend to treat Mr. J?s high LDL cholesterol? Explain the rational for each diet change. How will his current diet change? Prepare a day?s menu for Mr. J. What type of diet, if any, would you recommend to treat Mr. J?s hypertension? What suggestions might you offer to help him make the necessary diet changes? Are these diet changes consistent with those you would recommend for high LDL cholesterol?

What laboratory and clinical tests would you expect to see monitored regularly? Why?

Name at least three ways, which Mr. J could benefit from losing weight. How does physical activity fit into a weight-loss plan? Describe other ways Mr. J might benefit from a physical activity program.

Discuss nutrition considerations if Mr. J should suffer a heart attack or stroke. Describe the relationship of these disorders to elevated blood lipids and hypertension.
